Yeast for a IPA with piney & citrus profile?

[TyGuy716]

My brother and I are planning an IPA brew for next weekend. We picked our hops to be specifically piney and citrusy (Simcoe, Cascade, Chinook) for our brew. We want the hop profile to really come through without much emphasis on the malt, any recommendations on liquid yeast to use?
Thanks.

I really like plain old WLP001 for that! It's used often, so it may be sort of "been there, done that", but it's really great for bringing out the hops in IPAs.

Wyeast: American Ale (I or II), or Rogue Pacman. Ferment them in the low 60's. Make a starter too. Good luck!

WLP001 rocks the IPA (or APA, or nearly any other kind of American Ale)

Awesome. Thanks for the quick responses!
Cheers!

if you want dry its the safale s-05 also. Same as the wlp001

Cheaper, higher cell count, no starter needed

I've had very good success & repeatability w/ Wyeast 1056 & 1272. In fact, I'm brewing my Columbus IPA w/1056 & an APA w/ 1272 this weekend.
